Libre enfin
France D'Amour Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je suis dans ses bras
Murmure de sa voix
Une douceur qui me prend
Sa peau de soie
Danse comme le vent
Chasse les mauvais temps

Le ciel reprend ses armes

Sèche toutes mes larmes
Mon corps se laisse bercer
À poings fermés
Change les saisons
Fleuris, les canons

Mes barrières deviennent chemins
Je vais où je veux
Je suis libre enfin
Quand je ferme les yeux

Tournent les images
Quand tout devient trop sage
Et je rève en couleurs d'une Terre
Moins terre à terre
L'histoire et son destin
Restent entre mes mains

Mes jamais deviennent toujours
Le noir se fond en bleu

Je connais enfin l'amour
Quand je ferme les yeux

Overall Meaning

The song "Libre enfin" by France D'Amour tells a story of someone who has found love and is finally free. As the lyrics go, the singer is in the arms of the one they love, listening to the soft murmur of their voice, and feels a sweetness that takes them over. The lover's skin is soft like silk and dances like the wind, and they are able to chase away any negative thoughts or emotions. The sky seems to "rearm" itself and dry up all the tears that the singer has ever shed. The body is swayed and cradled, and nothing feels quite as good as being in the arms of one's beloved.

As the chorus plays out, the singer feels completely free, that all their barriers have become paths and that they can go wherever they want. They finally feel liberated! As they close their eyes, the world around them is vibrant and colorful, and they feel like they are dreaming. The history of their life is held within their own hands, and suddenly, their "never" turns into "always", and the darkness fades into blue. The singer feels like they finally understand what love means.

Overall, this song conveys a feeling of joy and liberation that comes with finding true love. Once love finds its way into someone's life, all the negative vibes and emotions get reset, and all the good things in life become more visible.
